Red and Rover by Brian Basset for May 21, 2023

A bird retriever at work.

Let’s stick to facts: These birds today “stick” at nothing to have a seat

Rover should stick to getting the stick Red threw for him.

Oh, my little dolls! That is soooo sweet! Keep making us happy, Brian and heaven is yours (sorry, I got a little carried away, but it’s so cute) ;)

Folks, Rover is demonstrating his true abilities as a genuine BIRD DOG. What a terrific way to start a Sunday. Thank you Brian, you nailed it!

That’s some balancing act!

Our first dog, Sandy, once flushed a bird out of the brush and brought it over to us. It was unharmed and it flew away when he released it. Our vet said it’s because Golden Retrievers have “soft mouths” and carry things gently. Whatever Rover is, he’s obviously a gentle soul. BTW, I love all puns that other readers have submitted—gave me a giggle this morning!

Good ole Rover, a friend to all, even the squirrel he chases.

Hot, new bird stand for the back yard. Only for a limited time. Yip yip yip yip yip

Awww, so tweet

Can’t throw now Red …… Rover’s got a concert going on now …….. Sit back and enjoy ……. :)

I had a dog that did just the opposite. When you threw a stick, he would bite it in half and bring back only a piece of it. This continued until he had pretty much just gooey sawdust.

Looks like Rover is doing a pretty good job as a branch manager.

Rover just twigged to the fact the he is a bird retriever at heart.

Rover is a bird dog.
